CHAPTER 31 I Don't Like This

CHAPTER 31 I Don’t Like This

WHAT THE HELL! Pinatawad ko lang ligaw agad!? I’m trying to move on here!

To Dwight: No you can’t! Hindi kita papayagan manligaw.

From Dwight: I can. You can’t stop me.

To Dwight: I can! Wag kang makulit!

From Dwight: You have no reason to forbid me.

I have to think of a reason!

Think, Zoe. Think.

*light bulb*

To Dwight: I have. Dric’s already my suitor.

From Dwight: I don’t believe you.

*ring*ring*

I picked up the phone when it rang.

“Hello?”

(Hello, Zoe.)

“Dric?”

(Yes, its me.)

“Perfect timing! Pinapayagan na kita manligaw.”

I have perfectly no idea if what I just told Dric was right.

But at least I am quite confident that Dwight will leave me alone now.

“Two peas in a pod. Two peas in a pod,” Rence sang.

“I am starting to memorize the tune of your song, Rence,” Zac irritatingly told him.

“That means I made a good song :)” – Rence

“That means, you’re singing it all day long,” Zac corrected. “So you should stop chanting! Besides, you only have five words for its lyrics; you just keep on repeating it!”

“Stop it, you two!” awat ko sa kanila.

“Don’t you like my song for you Zoe?” tanong sakin ni Rence.

“Zac is right, Rence.” – ako

Nalungkot naman si Rence sa sagot ko.

“Rence, you are making fun of my situation,” I told him.

“I’m not,” he defended. “I’m just stating how pretty you are through a song,” paliwanang nya.

Simula nang manligaw yung dalawa sakin nang-aasar na lagi si Rence. Nakiki-asar din naman si Zac minsan, sadyang nasawa lang siguro talaga sya sa kanta ni Rence na paulit-ulit kaya pinatitigil na nya ito.

Ano ba naman kasi ‘tong napasok ko! Wala naman akong balak magpaligaw sa dalawa! Sa totoo lang, wala pa akong balak magpa-ligaw kahit kanino sa ngayon. Sadyang naipit lang ako kay Dwight kaya pinayagan ko manligaw si Dric. I thought by the presence of Dric being my suitor, Dwight will stop. But I am wrong. He’s too stubborn… and determined.
